I have an issue where my new build reboots but only when I use prime 95 or Intel Burn Test. My pc has no problems when auto is set (1333 MHz) in the bios but when I try to configure it manually to 2133 MHz it reboots as soon as prime 95 starts. i have also tried other frequncies (1866/1600) but it still reboots as soon as the stress software starts. I am at stock settings and I am trying to get my whole system stable before overclocking. I tried XMP But that also rebooted as soon as prime 95 started. I have iv black edition with a 3930k and my ram is dominator platinum 2133 MHz. Memtest is error free for 5 hours when X.M.P is set. It's a clean windows 8.1 OS. All temperatures are fine as it is water cooled. Bios is up to date. I have also tried my corsair vengeance 1600 Mhz ram which also reboots when running prime 95.

iv'e had similar issues with my 3930k... I'm running 1.2 VTT & VCCSA, DRAM current @ 140%, XMP... And i think that is all it took to get it to work. This board is a bit finicky right now, it needs a new bios, but you shouldn't have any issues getting that speed stable unless it's one dog of a 3930k.

Good to know this, i had the same issue with an XTU bench run. As soon as it started the rig would re-boot. Couldn't get my head round it. Had everything on auto near enough, definitely current capability anyway as i was just doing a quick check with a few chips. dsimpson - keep us updated once you've checked with current set manually as i won't be home for another week.

Do I need to keep my SoundBlaster X-Fi card with the R4BE, or can I scrap it? I watch a lot of movies on my PC, and sometimes I'll use my studio headphones to listen instead of my HDTV speakers. I can't say that I can tell the difference with or without the SB card in my current RIVE since I pretty much installed it when I built the rig. So for those that have had sound cards prior to owning your R4BE's, and are now only relying on the built in sound device on the R4BE does it make a difference to keep a sound card?Edited by ProfeZZor X - 1/11/14 at 1:25am

I previously used a Focusrite Sapphire interface for audio and do find that I can't really tell much difference with audio playback. Granted, I'm only using studio monitors and not surround. Fortunately I don't have any audio pop either. If you can't tell the difference, then I wouldn't worry about an add-on.

I'm pondering my audio options too. This SupremeFX seems less good then the Core3D that was built-in to my Gigabyte Sniperr 5 Z87. I think its worse then the one on the older Sniper3. Its just not the same and things are inconsistant. I suspected this was just a glorified crappy realtek chip. I was told otherwise but after putting it to use and some games, my sound experience is not like before. Honestly, I would keep the sound card and try both. I suspect the sound card will be a much better experience.

Depends what you're expecting from it and what you've heard before. Let's just say that the Windows/PC environment is probably one of the absolute worst environments to expect high-quality sound from regardless of what device you're using, be it a PCIe sound card or on-board solutions such as SupremeFX/Core3D, in terms of true high-end audio they are all crap. IMO if you're at all serious about sound you should be using a high-quality external DAC in conjunction with some sort of bit-perfect audio interface.

For normal users I can't imagine the SupremeFX on the RIVBE not being sufficient -- I'd think only in terms of matching input/output impedance with your headphones would potential issues arise in terms of a perceived quality difference. Contrary to popular belief it does require some forethought. I would say rather than adding a soundcard to the RIVBE to perhaps try adding a quality headphone amp instead. Also if you're going to drop $250 or so on a PCIe soundcard you're better off saving up a bit more money and going with an external AIO DAC/Preamp/Headamp IMO.
